25th JSAP Awards (Year 2003)
JSAP Award Selection Committee, Chairman, Professor Hiroyuki SAKAKIThe selection committee had solicited application for the candidates for the 25th JSAP awards through our monthly journal “OYOBUTURI” from January to March issues (both self-recommendation
and appropriate recommendation). The committee accepted 38 candidate papers for JJAP Awards for the Best Original Paper, 15 for JJAPAwards for the Most Promising Young Scientists, and 22 recommended documents for JSAP Award for the Best Review Paper. Three members were in charge of referee for each candidate paper and based on
their report, the committee discussed and decided on the first-stage

candidates. Then all the committee members reread all the selectedpapers and through the process of discussion and examination, decided the second-stage candidates and report them to the board meeting. After final deliberation at the board meeting, we decided topresent awards to the following winners. The award ceremony will beheld on August 30 after the council meeting during the 64th Autumn
Meeting of the Japan Society of Applied Physics (Fukuoka University).
In addition, commemorative speeches of the winners will be held atrelevant workshop sites from August 30 to September 1.
